What are Stage 2 heads?

Better intake, better exhaust, better heads, wilder cam (yes I know ), larger displacement, higher SCR/DCR, a tune.

Plus there's always things like weight reduction and chassis mods which help deploy the power better and make more use of it. Body mounted torque arm, LCA, SFC, etc.

A 150 shot of nitrous would also see a significant gain in HP. Ok it's not n/a but unless you are racing in a class which prohibits such things who really cares. HP is HP, and the person with the most usually stands the better chance of being faster.

Now when you say N/A that stands for nitrous assisted right?Because a 100 shoy would be a nice kick.

with a cam that size and decent heads a 90/90 with a set of lts and a tune will net you some decent gains and the ud pulley should give you alittle also.as 300bhp has asked you may have stage 2 heads but some stage 2 heads are totally different than someone's else stage 2 heads and if your dcr is low with those heads a head with a smaller combustion chamber will benefit you.

+ 1 for nitrous, and if you get a plate system (NOS and Nitro Dave both make these kits) it will give you 2-3hp because it is a throttle body spacer
